Figure AI robots complete 24-hour autonomous sorting run
Figure AI's humanoid robots Bob, Frank and Gary ran continuously for 24 hours on the Helix-02 platform. The three units sorted more than 28,000 packages without human intervention during the test. Founder Brett Adcock posted updates from the live stream carried on YouTube and Twitter. The 24-hour demonstration followed an earlier 8-hour autonomous shift at human-level output.
#628Brett Adcock@ADCOCK_BRETTThis is crazy - 2 hours away from 24 hours of continuous humanoid work!
The robots have sorted over 28,000 packages so far
Bob, Frank, and Gary are all healthy

@coreylynch LFG!
Corey Lynch@coreylynchWe just hit 24h of continuous livestreamed work with Helix-02
#628Brett Adcock@ADCOCK_BRETTFrank merch in the house!!
p.s. robots are closing in on 30 hours of nonstop operations. Hopefully they don't fail and keep going
#628Brett Adcock@ADCOCK_BRETTFigure launched yesterday aiming to hit 8 hours of autonomous work
We’ve now crossed 30 hours of continuous operations with no downtime 🔥🔥🔥
We also welcomed Rose to the team - helping push us past 38,000 packages processed

Sharing more details on what’s going on:
> Our original goal was an 8-hour run. After zero failures yesterday, we decided to keep going. We’re now over 24 hours of continuous autonomous operation without a failure. This is uncharted territory
> The task is small package sorting. F.03 detects the barcode, picks up the package, and reorients it barcode face-down onto the conveyor
> Humans average around 3 seconds per package. F.03 is now around human parity. The robots are reasoning directly from camera pixels
> The robots are fully autonomous running Helix-02, our in-house neural network running entirely onboard F.03. There is no teleoperation - every action comes directly from Helix-02
> If the robot gets stuck or the AI policy goes out of distribution, Helix triggers an automatic reset. You’ll occasionally see this happen during the livestream
> YouTube commenters started naming the robots Bob, Frank, and Gary yesterday, so we added name tags to each robot
> If a robot has a software or hardware issue, it autonomously leaves for maintenance and another robot takes over. We run our labs at Figure this way to maximize uptime. We haven’t had a failure yet, but statistically we probably will at some point

#1484Vikash Kumar@VIKASHPLUSThis is incredibly impressive. Such uninterrupted live demos should be the standard. Kudos @adcock_brett and team.
Additional shout out to @agilityrobotics for setting such standards.

#1494Chubby♨️@KIMMONISMUSRegardless of Figure03's impressive performance:
Don't people understand what this means?
No human worker can compete with a robot that works 24 hours a day and can be easily mass-produced.

@adcock_brett Seriously, @adcock_brett . I need one for home. I can't keep up with the housework. I'm ready for real-world testing.

@adcock_brett I want one!
